Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum

On the morning of 19 April 1995, Timothy McVeigh
killed 168 people when he bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building. Where the building once stood stands the Oklahoma City
National Memorial & Museum, honouring the victims, survivors,
and rescue workers of the Oklahoma City Bombing.

The outdoor memorial features symbolic elements
including a reflecting pool and a field of empty chairs. It is
designed as a haven for those seeking comfort and serenity. The
museum chronicles the terrorist attack and aims to teach others
about the impact and senselessness of violence.
